Here's an excerpt from Jason Stoddard's latest post over at head-fi.org in which he muses about possible new products (and products not to expect):
Speaker amps. The hardest thing here is doing something meaningful…for a non-eye-bleeding price. Do we shoot above Emotiva (in price) with big, heavy, impressive boxes filled nifty circlotron designs and intelligent amp management? Or do we try to go head-to-head with this behemoth price-wise, but with smaller and more efficient amplifier designs (think small Class AB, not D, think fan)? Neither approach is particularly appealing. Above Emotiva, there’s about ten billion small manufacturers, all with their own spin…and some with very compelling products. At Emotiva, well, there’s Emotiva. Would something that doesn’t look big and impressive sell well against their iron? I don’t know. If you have thoughts, I’ll be glad to listen.
I think that says a lot about Emo's highly regarded position in the industry.
Here's a link to the post if you're interested in reading the whole thing. It is the latest in a series of posts he has written about his company. Very interesting reading..
